Overview

We will walk from Poundbury across fields and valleys to the site of the Roman Aqueduct at Muckleford.  We then follow the path of the Aqueduct down to the pretty village of Bradford Peverell before returning to Poundbury via Tilly Whim.

A significant proportion of this walk is on farm tracks and quiet country roads so it is likely to be less muddy than many walks at this time of year. However, there are some sections which might be muddy/wet.
